Perri Lynch`s Straight Shot is a procession of 12 standing stones (one stone has yet to be installed due to park construction), which runs parallel to and marks the calibration baseline. The stones are perfectly aligned over the course of one kilometer in an orderly progression from north to south. In land surveying, as in art, special relationships may be expressed through classic algebraic terms. Between each pair of stones, the distance doubles. Produced for the Seattle Channel by John Forsen with support from the Mayor`s Office of Arts & Cultural Affairs.
